Voilà! Instant high-fantasy ice box for champagne.It seems to me more drinking establishments hoping for return business would employ some folks with sleep spells, neutralize poison spells (against intoxication), and the like. Sure, adventurers are more likely to successfully save/resist, but if the fights are being started by others, well . . . If we're talking about worlds with dragons on the wing, castles built atop clouds, ancient wizards granted unnaturally long life through undead magic, and actual gods intervening in the affairs of mortals, why wouldn't more gin joints have some magic in place to enhance the drinking (cash influx) and reduce the bloodshed?Still learning,Robert</blockquote>
